Description I just liked the reference shot, so thought I would try a straight rendition, sticking to the original colours. Could tidy it up some, could even go for more realism, but not sure at present if I want to lose the rough edges.

Was fun to do.
10 x 12 ins acrylic on canvas.

Oh man, I just love how she almost glows! As mschick said, the skintones are perfect, but the lips are just pure brilliance!! I also really like her eyes, they're so soulful.

Gawd, I wish I knew how you do that. The skintone looks perfect, but I think the lips are my favourite part. You're the master

You are too kind....but I appreciate it

Its actually a bad pic, the original is much crisper and the lips have a better colour....but my tripod ran away and hasn't come home yet!
